Michelle, Just checking in to make sure I have your email saved to at least one of my accounts. This is my work account and office number. 4/6/13 Hi Elizabeth, I will save yours also, which account do you prefer I use to contact you?
4/8/13 Michelle, Either way if fine. However, my personal information will get checked more often. But, I am at work M-F 8-4. So if it is during that time I check my work email. Crazy right?
4/12/13 Michelle, I just wanted you to know that I got in 7 versions of Cinderella today. Very exciting. I will hopefully be able to compile a list today. Hi Elizabeth, That sounds great; I have two in from the library and I ordered a few more. I cannot believe it is almost the end of the semester; time is really flying. Michelle, We are supposed to use a brainstorming tool to share idea about the focus of the assignment. Any preferences. The file about them will not open for me.

4/15/13 Hi Elizabeth, I ordered all of the books from the list and they will be in either tomorrow or Wednesday. Is the target audience still going to be high school for the project? Do you have any experience developing lesson plans? How should be proceed with the planning?
Michelle, I have a bit of experience. I have a Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction. I am trying to get the wiki all up and right. But her directions are throwing me for a loop. We have to have multiple formats for our resources. I figure a couple of movies and audio books. I am not ordering those. I will fake it from the internet. I sent you a wiki invite. Please let me know if it works.
High school will work. I have scouted the TEKS. §110.34. English Language Arts and Reading, English IV (2) Reading/Comprehension of Literary Text/Theme and Genre. Students analyze, make inferences and draw conclusions about theme and genre in different cultural, historical, and contemporary contexts and provide evidence from the text to support their understanding. Students are expected to: (A) compare and contrast works of literature that express a universal theme; (B) compare and contrast the similarities and differences in classical plays with their modern day novel, play, or film versions; and (C) relate the characters, setting, and theme of a literary work to the historical, social, and economic ideas of its time.
§113.46. Sociology (12) Social inequality. The student understands changing societal views on gender, age, and health. The student is expected to: (A) analyze how gender roles affect the opportunities available to men and women in society; (13) Social institutions. The student identifies the basic social institution of the family and explains its influences on society. The student is expected to: (A) define the functions and rituals of the family and how the family has changed over time; (B) define family systems and patterns;
4/16/13 Michelle, I have updated the wiki page for the resources. I am going to add the chart with the print resources to the page that I am working on. Please feel free to add any information to the chart once you have accepted the wiki invitation. Also, any ideas for non print resources. I have some ideas about audio and video and am looking for web sources.
Michelle, I did a lot to the wiki today. Tomorrow I will continue with the resource development page. I have to add in the review of each book. And we also have to add other formats. I have an idea about the lesson. I think that the students should have to read two of the picture books, one Cinderella based novel (we need to find these, they are everywhere) and watch one movie. Then they need to analyze each for the role of women within the films and how those roles change with time and culture. What do you think?
4/17/13 Wow! that's impressive! I was able to get on to the wiki but I do not have editing privileges. I accepted the invitation; do I need to do anything else to make it work? I read somewhere that we need to select a unit or programming plan to follow, is that correct? and if so which one are we following?
It looks very nice! I can get onto the page but I cannot edit anything. I looked up some novels based on Cinderella and found this website with some cool suggestions http://www.portraitmagazine.net/archives/tenbooks20.html Do we need to write the reviews ourselves? I love the idea of analyzing the role of the women and how they change with time and culture. There are also many Cinderella based movies, such as A Cinderella Story, A Princess for Christmas, Ever After, A Cinderella Story: Once Upon a Song, Ella Enchanted, Elle: A Mondern Cinderella Story, and Enchanted.
Michelle, Thanks for the list of movies. I will add them to the wiki on our resource page. We do have to write the reviews for the books ourselves. The movies I think we can use a synopsis as long as we cite it because we are looking at different aspects.
The unit plan is on the collaboration page. We fill in as we go. I have started filling in things. We will make it work.
Elizabeth, okay. I will start working on reviews today and get as much done as I can.
Thanks. I am out of town from Friday until Sunday. So...I don't know why it won't let you on the wiki. That is so weird. I will be working on the wiki while I am gone as I am taking my laptop with me
okay. I will get help trying to figure out why I cannot edit the wiki.
Elizabeth, I started doing reviews, at this point I have almost completed Chinye: A West African Folk Tale and Cinderella by Marcia Brown. I am going to keep working on them plus others. I noticed that there are three books on the Wiki that I was not able to get yet. They are The Orphan, Cinderella by Perrault and Vasilisa the Beautiful.
I contacted the help on the Wiki to try and figure out what is going on. They have not yet responded but hopefully they will soon.
I am going to keep working on reviews/ annotated bibliographies and I will send them to you a little later this afternoon.
Awesome. I just did the review for Vasilisa and will handle the Perrault and Orphan selection also.
I finally got the Wiki issue resolved! i am now able to edit it!! Apparently there was something wrong with my email that their tech support had to resolve. Thank you for your patients! I am sorry it was a problem.
The wiki looks awesome by the way! You did a beautiful job formatting it.

I am sorry I was out of town at a convention. So, I did not get a ton done on the unit plan this weekend. I have begun work on the plan today.

Check out the wiki for the second page of our project. I did a ton today. Let me know what you think.

Hi Elizabeth,
The Wiki is looking great! You are doing a very nice job. What part would you like me to work on? I do not know much about lesson planning but I will do my best.

Michelle,
I added a couple of more resources based on Dr. M's suggestions. The only part that I am showing that is left on the unit plan page is:
Assessment Tool(s):
Learning Tasks Educator Responsible
Lesson Evaluation/Comments
This is where we break down who is responsible for what and how we will determine proficiency. Look over this area. Let me know what you think makes the most sense based on the performance objectives and prior knowledge. Remember that this would be a collaboration between three people: English teacher, sociology teacher, and Librarian. As a librarian determine what makes sense to you for your involvement.
Elizabeth Nelson, M.Ed.

Hi Elizabeth,
Here is what I started thinking-
Librarian
The Librarian would present the proper use of MLA along with web 2.0 functions and Prezi. Then a web challenge would be issued allowing the students to complete the challenge offering help if needed.
Materials would be obtained by the library for the lesson plans.
A quick lesson on folktales could also be presented so that students will have greater understanding of why this specific genre was selected.
Resources would also be provided such as MLA standard books or websites and Prezi instruction.
(The web challenge could be used to determine technological proficiency for the project.)
Does it sound like i'm headed in the right direction?

Michelle,
Check the wiki. I think we may have covered all aspects of the assignment at this point. Please let me know if you see any difficiencies. I know that I did a great deal on this, but it is my area and each piece fell into place. Please make any changes that you feel need to be implemented.
